Beskrivning
This collection of new essays interprets and critically evaluates the philosophy of Paul Feyerabend. It offers innovative historical scholarship on Feyerabend's take on topics such as realism, empiricism, mimesis, voluntarism, pluralism, materialism, and the mind-body problem, as well as certain debates in the philosophy of physics. It also considers the ways in which Feyerabend's thought can contribute to contemporary debates in science and public policy, including questions about the nature of scientific methodology, the role of science in society, citizen science, scientism, and the role of expertise in public policy. The volume will provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the topics which Feyerabend engaged with throughout his career, showing both the breadth and the depth of his thought.

Recensioner i media

'All of them go beyond where Feyerabend left off, which is appropriate for a book with this subtitle. [This] is an excellent collection that has already begun to reshape our understanding of Feyerabend's contributions to philosophy, and it will continue to do so for years to come.' Michael T. Stuart, Metascience
